Other Shoreview chimney sweeps quote ‘per hour’ or ‘per chimney,’ then hit you with extra fees. We give you a flat rate upfront, no surprises. If we find something unexpected, like a collapsed liner, we’ll explain it before we start. That’s how you avoid the ‘sticker shock’ call later. Our average sweep is $140–$220, depending on the chimney’s condition, but you’ll never pay more than we quote.
Our crew has worked in Shoreview for years, so we recognize the signs of winter damage fast, like rusted caps or ice dams in flues. We don’t just sweep; we check for problems that’ll cost you more later. For example, a small crack near the roof can turn into a $1,000 repair if ignored. We’ll point it out and give you options, not just upsell you. That’s how you save money in the long run.
Some sweeps in Shoreview will tell you your chimney needs a full reline when it doesn’t. We’ll only recommend what’s necessary, and if we do suggest repairs, it’s because we’ve seen similar issues in your neighborhood. For example, homes near Snelling Avenue often have flues that sag over time. We’ll explain the cost and timeline upfront, so you can decide without feeling rushed. Our goal is to keep your chimney safe, not your wallet empty.
We hold proper permits and full insurance, so your home and our team stay protected while we work. Plus, our work comes with a 30-day warranty, if something goes wrong, we’ll fix it. Homeowners in Shoreview stick with us because we back our service with real guarantees, not just empty promises. No ‘handshake deals’ here. If we miss a spot during a sweep, we’ll come back and redo it at no cost. That’s how you get peace of mind, not just a quick sweep.
Devin Pedraza Chimney Co is the no-nonsense chimney sweep for Shoreview homeowners who want real value without the upsell. We cut through the guesswork on pricing, no hidden fees, no surprise charges, just straightforward chimney service at fair rates. Whether you’re dealing with a creosote buildup from last winter’s Shoreview freeze-thaw cycles or just want to keep your fireplace running clean, we’ll give you the facts up front so you can decide without overpaying. Our crew knows the local climate’s toll on chimneys, from the damp basements under Shoreview’s older homes to the soot buildup from wood stoves in newer builds. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners wait too long, and we’ll tell you exactly what needs fixing, no upselling, no fluff.
"We’d been paying $250 every year for a chimney sweep, but this year we called Devin Pedraza and got the same service for $160, plus they found a small crack in our flue that another sweep missed. Fixed it on the spot for $80. Saved us $100 and avoided a bigger repair later. That’s real value."
"Our pellet stove was smoking into the room, and other places quoted $300 to ‘inspect and clean.’ Devin Pedraza showed up, found a clogged exhaust pipe, and fixed it for $120. No upsell, no hidden fees. Called them back last winter, they’re our go-to now. Shoreview’s winters are tough on chimneys, and they actually care about fixing the problem, not just taking your money."
"We’ve had our chimney swept three times now, and every time they’ve been honest about what’s needed. Last time, they said our liner was shot and gave us three options, no pressure, just facts. We chose the mid-range fix, and it’s held up through two winters. Other sweeps in Shoreview would’ve told us to replace the whole chimney. These guys save you money without cutting corners."
"Our fireplace was drafty, and we were getting ready to replace the damper. Devin Pedraza came out, sealed the gaps around the damper for $60, and our fireplace finally stays warm. No ‘you need a new chimney’ sales pitch, just a simple fix. That’s the kind of service Shoreview needs. We’ve recommended them to three neighbors already."
"I was worried about paying for a sweep when my neighbor’s chimney was also connected. Devin Pedraza explained the shared cost upfront and did both chimneys for $180, half what another place quoted. They even checked for cross-drafts between the units. No hassle, no overcharging. That’s how a chimney sweep should work in Shoreview."
"We booked the Winter Prep Package and saved 15% over separate services. They swept our chimney, found a loose cap, and fixed it for $50. No upsell, no ‘you need a reline’ nonsense. Our fireplace has been running perfectly all winter. Shoreview’s winters are no joke, and these guys actually prepare your chimney for them, not just take your money."
Expert local advice for Shoreview homeowners.
We’ll ask a few quick questions about your chimney, how often you use it, any smoke or soot issues, and give you a flat-rate quote over the phone. No sales pitch, no pressure. If you’re near the river or in an older home, we might spot potential problems right away. Shoreview homeowners often book same-day, but we’ll schedule around your timeline. Just tell us when works best.
No ‘basic sweep’ here. We bring rotary brushes, vacuum systems, and inspection cameras to check for hidden issues. In Shoreview’s older homes, we often find creosote buildup in spots other sweeps miss. We’ll explain everything as we go, so you know exactly what we’re doing. If we find a problem, like a blocked flue, we’ll tell you before we start fixing it. No surprises.
After sweeping, we’ll inspect the chimney for cracks, rust, or blockages. If we find something that needs attention, we’ll show you the damage and give you a clear next step, no vague advice. For example, if your flue liner is deteriorating, we’ll explain why and how to fix it. Shoreview winters make these issues worse, so we’ll prioritize what to tackle first. You’ll leave knowing your chimney is safe.
We’ll walk you through any repairs or maintenance needed, with no upsell pressure. If you’re happy with the work, we’ll hand you a receipt and warranty details. No small print, just a simple document. Shoreview homeowners often ask for a quick recap of what we did, so we’ll summarize it in plain terms. Your chimney’s ready for winter, and you’ve paid exactly what we quoted. That’s how it should work.
Proudly serving Shoreview and these nearby communities.
A basic chimney sweep in Shoreview usually costs between $120 and $200, depending on how tall your chimney is and how hard it is to reach. Some companies charge extra for ‘inspections’ or ‘cleaning additives’, we don’t. Our price covers the sweep, a full inspection, and a written report with any issues. If your chimney’s taller or has a tight flue (common in Shoreview’s older homes), we’ll quote you up front. No ‘surprise fees’ for creosote removal or minor repairs, we’ll tell you what’s wrong and how much it’ll cost to fix it before we start.
DIY sweeps are a bad idea in Shoreview. Our crews see homeowners who try it end up with creosote pushed deeper into the flue, clogging it worse. A pro sweep removes all buildup safely and checks for cracks or rust, things you’d miss. Plus, Shoreview’s building codes require inspections for resale or after repairs. We’ll handle the paperwork and ensure your chimney meets local standards, so you’re not stuck with a failed inspection later.
Shoreview’s humidity and older homes with unlined flues cause faster creosote buildup. If your neighbor’s chimney is newer or has a stainless-steel liner, theirs may stay cleaner longer. We’ll inspect yours and tell you exactly how often you should sweep based on your wood type, usage, and chimney condition. Burning softwoods or leaving fires smoldering speeds up buildup, we’ll show you how to adjust your habits to cut costs.
No. Some companies upsell ‘green’ additives or ‘premium’ brushes, but we use standard tools that get the job done. The only ‘premium’ service you need is a thorough sweep and inspection. If your chimney’s old or damaged, we’ll recommend repairs, but we’ll never charge extra for basic cleaning. Shoreview’s climate means creosote builds up fast, so we focus on removing it all, not selling you unnecessary products.
A standard sweep takes 45 to 90 minutes, depending on how much buildup is in your chimney and how high it is. You’re welcome to watch, but we’ll work efficiently, no small talk. If we find issues (like a cracked flue or rusted damper), we’ll pause to explain what we’re seeing. Shoreview’s older homes often have hidden problems, so we’ll point them out as we go. No rush jobs here, we’ll take the time to do it right, but we won’t drag it out either.
Book in late summer or early fall to avoid winter rush pricing. Shoreview homeowners often wait until after the first cold snap, but creosote builds up year-round. We offer discounts for off-season sweeps if you schedule early. If your chimney’s due for a sweep and you’re thinking of selling, do it now. Shoreview’s inspection window can delay closings. We’ll prioritize your job, but summer/fall is the cheapest time to get it done.
A gas smell usually means creosote or soot got pushed into your living space during the sweep. Our crews use HEPA vacuums to trap debris, but if you smell gas afterward, turn off your fireplace and call us back, it’s not safe. Shoreview’s older homes sometimes have poor ventilation, so we’ll check for leaks or improper sealing. Never use the fireplace until we confirm it’s clear. This isn’t normal, and we’ll fix it the same day if it happens.
We don’t bundle services, but we’ll give you a fair price for the work you need. If your chimney needs repairs (like a new damper or liner), we’ll quote you separately, no upselling. Some companies offer ‘packages,’ but we believe in paying for what you get. That said, if you’ve had multiple sweeps with us, we’ll honor a loyalty discount. Just ask when you call. Shoreview homeowners deserve transparency, not hidden deals.
